I love repurposed leftovers! And fried rice is super easy to throw together on a busy weeknight. You could also use leftover chicken, beef…..really anything you have in this one. No leftovers? Make veggie fried rice! My best tip for fried rice is this: you don’t want freshly cooked, warm rice. You want to use rice from yesterday that’s been chilled in the fridge. Or even 2 days ago. I don’t know why. I just know it works better.

Pork Fried Rice (Serves 4-5)

Ingredients:

4 tsp canola or vegetable oil, divided

3 eggs, beaten

1 TB minced garlic (I use the jarred stuff)

1 TB minced ginger (luckily, you can now buy this in a jar or tube too!)

1 bag of frozen carrots and peas (or, if, like me, you only have the bag that has corn too, that), defrosted (I also added some leftover green beans from the Honey Mustard Pork, chopped small)
